Let their eyes be obscured, so that they may not see, and so that they may bow down their backs always.”

Now if their offense is the riches of the world, and if their diminution is the riches of the Gentiles, how much more is their fullness?
For I say to you Gentiles: Certainly, as long as I am an Apostle to the Gentiles, I will honor my ministry,
in such a way that I might provoke to rivalry those who are my own flesh, and so that I may save some of them.
